‘Ocean’s 8’ Trailer: Sandra Bullock And Cate Blanchett Lead An All-Star, All-Female Team By Hoai-Tran Bui/Dec. 19, 2017 5:18 am EST They’re good at what they do, and they look good doing it. The all-female reboot Ocean’s 8 has finally dropped its first trailer, and it looks stylish, sleek, as perfect as you’d imagine a movie starring some of Hollywood’s most talented actresses would be. Sandra Bullock stars as Debbie Ocean, the estranged younger sister of George Clooney’s Danny Ocean from the Ocean’s Eleven films, who assembles a team of talented thieves to pull off a heist at the annual Met Gala....

The determined Rey. The conflicted Finn. The “Fonzie in Space” Poe Dameron. The tormented Kylo Ren. And now, Star Wars: The Last Jedi is tossing another new hero into the mix and it sounds like she’ll shake up one of the regulars in a pretty big way....

‘Step Sisters’ Trailer: Netflix Brings It On In Competitive Sorority Comedy By Hoai-Tran Bui/Jan. 2, 2018 3:00 pm EST Virtually every club sport has received its own competitive comedy movie: football, cheerleading, dodgeball. Hell, even competitive a capella has gotten its time to shine — and Pitch Perfect 3’s recent release is there to remind you that singing covers of songs will always be cool. Stepping is no exception, having received the motion picture treatment since the ’80s, in films like School Daze, Mac and Me, Drumline, and How She Move....

‘The Force Of Sound’ Trailer: Find Out How They Make Lightsaber Sounds In This ‘Last Jedi’ Documentary By Hoai-Tran Bui/Feb. 19, 2018 12:30 pm EST There’s a moment in Star Wars: The Last Jedi where the sound completely cuts off for 10 seconds.

‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Almost Featured Fat Thor And Emo Loki By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 4, 2017 10:00 am EST Thor: Ragnarok is in theaters now, and it will have no problem taking the top spot at the box office. With director Taika Waititi behind the camera, the franchise steered hard into comedic territory, even more than audiences have come to expect from the Marvel Studios superhero movies. But Thor: Ragnarok almost headed into John Hughes territory with a sequence that ended up getting axed....

By Ben Pearson/Sept. 6, 2017 11:00 am EST A few months ago, we heard that WB, Universal, Fox, Sony, and Annapurna Pictures were fighting for the ability to distribute future Bond movies. When Daniel Craig officially announced that he was coming back for at least one more movie to play Agent 007 once again, Annapurna Pictures head Megan Ellison retweeted his announcement, which led us to wonder if maybe Annapurna was close to making a deal....

Daniel Radcliffe Would Like To Get Killed Off On ‘Game Of Thrones’ By Angie Han/Sept. 23, 2016 7:30 am EST The Boy Who Lived is ready to die, at least if it means he gets to go to Westeros. Over the past six seasons, Game of Thrones has cast a huge number of British actors — young and old, obscure and world-famous — and now Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe wants in as well....

By Ethan Anderton/May 20, 2017 11:00 am EST Though there have been five Spider-Man movies that have hit the big screen over the past two decades, the webslinger’s classic theme has never really been given its due diligence when it comes to the film’s soundtrack. There have been some goofy versions from Sam Raimi’s trilogy of movies, and the tune was Peter Parker’s ringtone in The Amazing Spider-Man franchise, but it’s never been given a proper orchestral arrangement....

Peter Berg Wants To Make ‘The Rundown 2’ With Jonah Hill By Jack Giroux/Sept. 13, 2016 4:30 pm EST Fans of The Rundown have had their hearts played with more than once over the past few years. Ever since it was first talked about, a sequel to Peter Berg’s excellent popcorn movie has almost sounded too good to be true. There’s never been any concrete news to make us think we’ll see Beck (Johnson) go on another adventure....

The ‘Han Solo’ Movie May Take Us Back To Tatooine By Hoai-Tran Bui/May 10, 2017 8:30 am EST We may be getting a blast(er) from the past with the upcoming Han Solo standalone movie. The newest entry in the Star Wars anthology series follows Rogue One by taking us to a time long ago, before the events of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. We already knew that it would follow a young Han Solo and his origin as one of the most infamous smugglers in the galaxy, but new set photos reveal that we may see a familiar location in the still untitled film: Tatooine....

Video: How Thor Ruined John Krasinski’s Captain America Chances By Angie Han/Aug. 24, 2016 11:30 am EST Krasinski confirmed he’d done a screen test to play Captain America. “When they asked me to test, they actually allowed me to put on the suit, I was on a set, it was all very interesting,” he said. It’s hard to tell how much of this story is embellished, but the timing theoretically checks out: Krasinski’s screen test would have been around late 2009 or early 2010, and Thor began shooting in January 2010....

But not everyone is convinced they belong there. Speaking at the Edinburgh Television Festival this week, writer/director Bruno Heller has said he “[doesn’t] think superheroes work very well on TV.” Which might not be all that notable, except that Heller is himself the showrunner of a superhero TV series, Fox’s Gotham....

WTF: Star Wars-Branded Photocopy Paper Exists For No Good Reason By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 18, 2016 9:30 am EST It’s no secret that merchandise is the bread and butter of the profits that come from owning the rights to the Star Wars saga. Anything and everything has been branded with the Star Wars logo, aliens, vehicles and all sorts of things from a galaxy far, far away. And just when we thought we’d seen it all, one company delivers something that has no good reason for existing....
